I just read an article about how Clinton Assures Puerto Ricans they will not have to go back to Iraq.  It is unbelievable how far she will go to deceive the people, just to get their votes.    

She really needs to wake up and smell the coffee.  She can make all the promises she wants, but the reality is she barely has a snow ball's chance in hell of becoming the Democratic nominee.   She just needs to pack up here sorry ass husband, go back to New York and start planning for 2012.

Most of the folks in California disagree with gay-marriage.  See the Fox News report below.

• "Proposition 22, which strengthened the state's 1978 one-man, one-woman marriage law with the words "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California," passed with 61 percent of the vote."

So after all these folks get married next month, what is going to happen if the issue is put before the voters in November for another vote and there is an amendment to the state constitution banning gay marriage?

President Bush's recent trip to Israel and his comments about "Appeasement" has stirred a lot of buzz.  I think his comments were right on target and what I find irresponsible is the nut case we have as "Speaker of the House" and her ever so stupid side kick, Harry "Clue Less, Taxes are Voluntary" Reid. 

The following two paragraphs were taken from a New Your Times article discussing the Presidents comments;

• The comments created an angry tussle back home, as Democrats accused Mr. Bush of breaching protocol by playing partisan politics overseas.
• On Thursday, other Democrats leapt to the Illinois senator’s defense. Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the Democratic leader, called Mr. Bush’s remarks “reckless and irresponsible.” Speaker Nancy Pelosi of California said Mr. Bush had behaved in a manner “beneath the dignity of the office of president.” Representative Rahm Emanuel of Illinois, chairman of the House Democratic caucus, accused Mr. Bush of violating the unwritten rule against playing politics overseas. 

Now when you read these, the Dems are making some nasty accusations.  However, they seem  to have no problem  "playing politics overseas"  and "breaching protocol".  Do you remember Nancy Pelosi's visit to Syria?  "The controversial meeting was a clear defiance of the White House Middle East policy." [Fox News]

Now does this seem like some BS, or what?

I received an interesting email that shows 11 Articles listing the Non-Rights for those people who think they have the "Right" to everything.  Check out the US Bill of NON-RIGHTS. 

Well the Code Pink Nuts are at it again out in Berkeley, California.  This time their attempting witchcraft to get their point across.  If you remember, they were raising hell back in February when the Berkeley City Council sent the Marines a letter saying they were not welcome.  I posted a blog entry "Berkeley Eases Anti-Marine Stance" about it and thought these nuts were moving on, but it appears their back to cause more trouble.

What I find a little odd, is their issue of saying they want to protect the troops from dying.  Perhaps they should pull their head out of their ass along with a few other groups and go after illegal aliens in our country.  The following is quoted from an article by Scott Snyder. 

• "As of April 23, 2008, 4046 Americans have given their lives in the Iraq war, that's about 809 soldiers per year. As of 2006, on average 12 people per day are murdered by illegal immigrants and 13 people a day are killed by illegal immigrants driving while drunk and uninsured. Over a one year period this amounts to 9125 Americans killed by illegal immigrants. These numbers do not also include terrorist attacks on US soil that were committed by illegal immigrants."

Now if these nuts were really concerned about the life of Americans, then I would think they would want to go after the larger killer of Americans.  But hell no, that would not be politically correct.   Feel free to discuss this topic more at Bob's Daily Blog Forum.

To read the latest about these nuts, see the following article below from Fox News.

A while back, I ran a poll asking people if they thought America was becoming too politically correct.  Overwhelmingly, the response was Yes.  Now, I read just how crazy this PC shit is becoming.  The following is another one of those Investigative Project on Terrorism stories I just can't believe and follows on the heels of the Dangerous Words article I posted earlier.

Investigative Project Releases Gov't Memos Curtailing Speech in War on Terror - The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is refusing to identify the "influential Muslim Americans" and "leading U.S.-based scholars and commentators on Islam" who met with Secretary Michael Chertoff in helping shape a softer approach to government.

Well I finished the integration of phpBB3 forum with my blog running Drupal 6. I added this forum to explore more back and forth type discussion with regards to the items I post here and to allow others the opportunity to start their own discussion threads.  The forum does not require you to register in order to post, but does ask for the basic information, like name, email, and there is a anti-spam feature.
